Integrated Hardware-Based Serial Decoding and Triggering (Option)
Keysight InfiniiVision oscilloscopes, including the 3000T X-Series, use hardware-based serial protocol decoding. Some other vendors use software post-processing techniques to decode serial packets⁄ frames, and therefore have slow waveform and decode capture rates and could miss critical events and errors due to a long dead-time. Faster decoding with hardware-based technology enhances the probability of capturing infrequent serial communication errors.
After capturing serial bus communication, you can easily perform a search operation based on specific criteria and then quickly navigate to bytes/frames of serial data that satisfy those search criteria. The 3000T X-Series can decode two serial buses simultaneously using hardware-based decoding and display the captured data in a time-interleaved “lister” display.
Serial protocol decoding can be used simultaneously with segmented memory and Zone touch triggering. The 3000T X-Series has the most decode/trigger capabilities in this class of instrument including I2C, SPI, RS232/422/485/UART, CAN, CAN FD, LIN, SENT, CXPI, FlexRay, MIL-STD 1553, ARINC 429, USB PD, and I2S.
